My personal opinions: Why do people whine so much? God, I wish I had a credit card to giveaway some stuff too! perhaps next year. And I just don't mind about not winning a thing. Someone had to pay for the games. These are giveaways. They are supposed to be fun! It's a small chance to get something. I'm here just to participate. If I get anything, even better :)
And congrats for the iniciative!

I've noticed a distinct trend for people on this site to basically be total pricks to other people on this site, just because the latter don't give things away like the former think they should. Some of the many reasons people aren't "true gifters" include:
Not giving things away at all, for whatever reason. (Commonly called "leeching", it's more often a sign of someone who cannot give games away than a sign of someone who will not.)
Giving away individual games that just so happened to have been in a bundle at some point. (Remember, this isn't against the rules even if the game did come from a bundle.)
"Abusing" contributor value in one way or another. (Because it's so terrible that someone else managed to get the same score as you did without having to pay as much money.)
Not to mention all of the berating people for breaking the rules (which they probably don't know exist, what with the FAQ being on the opposite end of the site as the account- and giveaway-creation buttons) and making private giveaway groups with steep requirements that exclude pretty much everyone who doesn't have more than enough resources (time, money, or otherwise) to get any games given away by the group anyway.
With this in mind, I have created a group for those who, like me, think that all of this drama is a load of old tosh and just want to give things to people, and maybe receive something every so often in return. Just to clarify: There are no requirements to join or to stay in the group. We know some of you can't afford to give away games, and even if you just don't want to give things away for one reason or another, you can still join; it's not any of our business why you give or don't give. We're in this to be nice, not to be snobs.
Please, no whining about how X group of people I'm defending deserves not to win anything in this topic. We already have enough of that.
